Air Fryer Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Recipe
Description
This Air Fryer Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich has crispy, golden bread and a warm peanut butter and jelly filling. It is an easy 11-minute lunch or snack made with four simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons jelly, jam, or fruit preserves
- 1 teaspoon softened butter, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 1–2 minutes.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over one slice of bread.
- Spread the jelly over the second slice, leaving approximately ¼ inch around the edges.
- Place the slices together with the filling inside.
- Spread softened butter over both outside surfaces of the sandwich.
- Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Secure it with a toothpick or air fryer rack if lightweight bread moves in your machine.
- Air fry at 350°F for 3–4 minutes.
- Flip the sandwich and cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.
- Remove the toothpick, if used, and let the sandwich cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing and serving.
Equipment
- Parchment Paper, optional
- Cooking Spray, optional
Notes
- Air fryer models cook differently, so begin checking the sandwich after five minutes.
- Thick bread may need one extra minute.
- Do not overfill the sandwich because hot jelly can leak into the basket.
- The filling becomes very hot. Let the sandwich cool before serving it to children.
- Butter is optional, but it produces a crispier and more evenly browned sandwich.
